King's Landing!Blossom who learned early on that firstborn heirs (Alton, Joffrey and every man that's courted her but had no balls to propose out of fear from Joffrey) are weak and not to be trusted meeting Robb Stark, who will do anything to make her feel safe and welcome in the North after it becomes clear the Prince feels entitled to her the same way he feels entitled to the throne.
Robb who drills his mother with questions about her and her family the day after the welcome feast and is told that the only reason they aren't betrothed is because the Queen refuses to and Silas Greensted is too proud to offer anything more to the royal family (Silas purposely making the betrothal unappealing)
I love this new AU! Do we think the possible engagement to Jorelle was still happening but unofficial enough that Robb felt within his right to marry? Or what if he was actually betrothed and just didn't care? Was Blossom hurt badly, secretly enough that she doesn't want to tell Silas (we know she doesn't tell him everything, but abuse victims also avoid telling their loved ones) but she shows Robb because she wants to play into his savior complex? How would their first meeting have happened? Was Silas in Winterfell or did he just wake up one day to a letter telling him his sister had eloped with the *checks notes* the future warden of the North and lord of Winterfell?
Omg my loveee, let's talk about this! 🩷 Thank you so much! 🥰
So I feel like Blossom was put in the southern court around the time Margaery was, and the moment Joffrey started looking Blossom's way, sirens started blasting in both her and Silas' heads😁 Nothing ever happened of course, Blossom would never want that, Silas himself wouldn't want that, and heir or not, Joffrey could not do anything about that, but it didn't mean he would leave her suitors alone! He probably did monstrous stuff to one of them, and it was enough to make everyone else start the rumor mill, and it was at that moment Silas decided he'd get Blossom out of King's Landing😈
So I think he was in the king's entourage, he would never let Blossom be alone just in case🩷
Robb Stark, who will do anything to make her feel safe and welcome in the North She will be meltingggg😈
Do we think the possible engagement to Jorelle was still happening but unofficial enough that Robb felt within his right to marry? Or what if he was actually betrothed and just didn't care? OH! I think the second one! 😈
Like, I think that would show Blossom's "skills" in seducing Robb, because she already knew she would be getting away from Joffrey (the worst case scenario, Silas would poison him before they left for Dorne) but the moment she met Robb???
She literally decided right there and then that he would be hers😈
I don't think Blossom was hurt because Silas would never let that happen, but she one hundred percent played into Robb's savior complex, I'M SO GLAD YOU MENTIONED THAT! 🩷 I think there was a reason why Robb was ready to throw all the earlier "arrangements" he had with Jorelle out the window and risk a war between the north and the south by the end of the week after they first met, Blossom played him so so so well😈
Like, yes she would fall in love, but at first it was very much planned to make him fall in love😈
I think Blossom would notice the way Robb was looking at her the moment she stepped out of the carriage with the queen, and decided very conveniently to be within Robb's sight, and then decided to walk to the Godswood to "explore it alone" while Robb was watching😈 So of course he followed her😏
I feel like Robb was so convinced that it was fate, and that he was the one who decided to propose within days, and then elope and consummate so that they couldn't take her, buuuut...
It was all Blossom's plan 😈
I think Silas knew by the way! 😈 She probably gave him a speech about how a marriage with the future Lord Stark would make their family much more powerful, and convinced him🩷
Thank you so so much for this! 🩷
